This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

In all possibilities this is going to be a review which might not find many takers basically due to the new-age lifestyle we are now used to live in, keeping the heart at the last and many other things before that, ………..unfortunately.Plus it might not be a great review for the viewers who are now habitual of watching a movie taking it as an X, Y, Z Star's film above than anything else, with an already prepared mindset irrespective of its content matter or presentation.So accepting the criticism well in advance I would like to begin that though the film doesn't feature the animal friend as intensely as they did it in HAATHI MERE SAATHI (1971), TERI MEHARBANIYA (1985), MAA (1976/1992) or most importantly in HACHI (2009 – It will be a SIN to miss it). Still ENTERTAINMENT does offer few brilliantly shot emotional moments making you feel the value of this four legged best friend in your personal life, which many would readily agree to.Hence first of all it rightly deserves some brownie points both for its 10 minutes before the intermission as well as the climax giving you that emotional high as expected from a film talking about our animal friends. Particularly its well shot, pre interval 'under water' sequence deserves a special mention here which straight away reminded me of a similar one (not with the water) earlier seen in the Spanish masterpiece AMORES PERROS (2000). And honestly that was one of those scary, disturbing sequences I had ever seen, which didn't let me sleep well for a few days and kept haunting me repeatedly.Secondly other than the adorable dog, what really works in the film is its dialogue writing, which has enough comic punches to keep you in splits both in the first and second half consistently. Specifically the ones written for Krishna alone, incorporating the names of all famous film personalities in an innovative hilarious style, which frankly plays the major trick for the film most of the times.Thirdly the songs are not thrown every 10 minutes just like that and you don't mind watching the few with all that positive energy moving. Moreover 'Johny Johny' and 'Veerey Di Wedding' surely have that catchy compositions & beats required to play in the party sessions loudly. Plus the DOP captures it all beautifully and the background score doesn't overlap the sequences as mostly seen in such comic films.Now apart from the above, yes there is much absurd slapstick comedy in the film too which always has many distinctive reactions coming from the viewers. But thankfully this time the absurdity isn't completely flat and remains enjoyable at regular intervals basically due to the few leading good performances by the cast and their dialogues. In the flipside, the second half of the film drops majorly as the villain track doesn't work at all with an all forced in and clichéd plot having nothing much to offer. Rating the individual acts, Akshay Kumar once again proves that he still has got much comedy left in his funny acts & incomparable timing as seen before. But what actually makes his performance look so bright are two superb supporting acts from Johny Lever and Krishna. In fact I enjoyed watching Johny Bhai after a long time and truly feel that the actor deserves much more than he is offered by the industry people. Krishna in reality becomes the lifeline of ENERTAINMENT in the first half and its indeed a treat to watch him together with Akshay & Johny saying those skillfully written one-liners naming many key actors. As the leading lady Tamanna certainly does much better than her previous films and Mithun Da is fine as her father. In the supporting act, Dalip Tahil, Darshan Jariwala and Vrajesh Hirjee are just okay, whereas Riteish Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade and Remo D'Souza entertain well in their respective cameos right in the beginning. Sadly Prakash Raj or Sonu Sood fail to make any kind of impact on the viewer with nothing exceptional and the wonderful JUNIOR lovingly proves to be the real hero of ENTERTAINMENT in the finale song sequence.Talking about the highly criticized illogical and silly plot of a dog becoming the owner of 3000 crores as per the will of an Indian millionaire living abroad, I would like to add (addressing many reputed reviewers here) that it seems to be the same ages old inferiority complex surfacing again somehow. Because if in a Hollywood film a cat can become the legal heir of a rich man and animals can talk with their doctor too without caring about any so called logic. Then why our Hindi films are laughed upon when they try to incorporate the same things with their hearts fitted in the right place.Anyway, I would like to admit that before going for ENTERTAINMENT I was really expecting something similar to a Sajid Khan movie reading the names of debut directors Sajid-Farhad in the credits, who earlier were associated with Rohit Shetty in many of his famous films. But the director duo really surprised me, especially with their enjoyable writing and fine handling of a risky subject, without falling down to anything vulgar or objectionable. The duo mostly keeps the humour all clean and entertaining throughout, which is sure going to be a major merit for the project keeping in mind its family audiences.Yet I would like to end with a clear conclusion that ENTERTAINMENT is certainly going to appeal more to the kids and the viewers who have experienced a life of several years lived with their beloved pets.

The movie doesn't wish to remain subtle anywhere, right from the start it is explicit and out and out. the humour is simple and does not depend on random new age dialogues. What i liked was the directors intent to remain in their own domain of comedy cinema. Some scenes are so funny that you may add them to your all time favourite. The movie doesn't want to address the Hollywood type of humour appetite of many, but remains true to the bollywood style humour that we all have cherished since the last three decades. the performances are brilliant owing to casting of some bollywood stalwarts. Nothing in this movie disappoints me and this was the kind of film that i was looking for since a long time. entertainment is different from the disastrous Humshakals in many ways, humshakals lacked the connect and tried to be new aged while entertainment is all the way a more dramatic and outrageous comedy.

I would not tell you the story of the film as it will spoil your excitement for the movie. I shall tell you about Plot, Performance, Direction, Cinematography and Entertaining Value. Plot: Plot is set in Bangkok and is excellent throughout the movie. Performance: Akshay's performance is worth to watch. He is just like as in Housefull 2. Tamannah looks beautiful and id good. Sonu sood is excellent while Prakash Raj is good. Krushna is just average but his one liners are in full swing. Mithun is OK in special appearance. Direction: I did not find any fault is direction. Even they are very talented. Cinematography: Very good Entertaining Value: Watch it with you family. It is the best family entertainer in last 5 years I can guarantee.

Akhil (akshay) is a common man struggling to make ends meet because his father (darshan) is hospitalized. But Akhil is shocked to hear that his real father is the diamond merchant Pannalal (dalip tahil) based in Bangkok. Twist occurs when Pannalal dies and Akhil goes to Bangkok to claim his inheritance. The entire fortune is written on the name of 'Entertainment'- Pannalal's pet dog. What happens from there forms the rest.The director has come up with a whacky storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was great. The dialogues were well written and full of entertainment. The script was okay but the screenplay added amazing energy. The background score was melodious and three songs were worth watching. Cinematography was the main strength to this film. Editing was good. Costumes were well designed to suit the royalty while the art department was majestic. Akshay Kumar delivers yet another cracker with his performance, his comic timing is great, and he proves why he is one of best actor we have today. Tamannah is not just beautiful but has a very seductive appeal in her which is hard to resist. Krishna Abhishek was superb, Johnny Lever was outstanding. Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood have amazing chemistry, and bring the houses with there karan-arjun act. The cameos by other celebrities were effective. The golden retriever Junior named Entertainment in the film is the scene stealer though he proves that every dog has his day.It is not often that one gets to see the man-animal flicks and that too in Indian cinema but this one was a brave and a good attempt. The first half revolves around the elements of comedy, romance and some hilarious moments. Even the interval bang was exciting. The second half gets a bit sentimental but the scenes work and make you moisted eyed.The last thirty minutes picks up and brings back the energy, comedy and ample laughter. Overall, this is a film which is meant for entertainment seeking audience, the film has ample laughter, some emotion, great music, and above all the film has an an amazing dog and great message that love your animals because they give you the best ENTERTAINMENT. A must watch
